Norfolk teen Ryley Music registered perhaps his most notable Langley Speedway victory yet during Louie Pasderetz Commanders Cup competition in Hampton.
Music, a third-generation racer and grandson of Langley great Phil Warren, has shown championship pedigree and versatility in his young career. But now he’s showing he can compete in Late Models.
Saturday night as part of Team Coast Guard, he beat Cole Bruce for his first Late Model triumph. Longtime star Danny Edwards was third, followed by Ryan Matthews and points leader Greg Edwards.
Pro Six: Andrew Wroten overcame Chris Bechtel in a 25-lap race for his second victory of the year and moved alone atop the points race. Ray Rollman was third in a field of five.
Super Street: Sammy Gaita captured a 40-lap triumph for his third victory of 2025, tightening his hold on the points lead. Jacob Wood and Chris Spangler were second and third, respectively, among 11 competitors.
Super Truck: On the annual night honoring his late son’s name, the elder Louie Pasderetz returned to competition and won a 40-lap race. Chris Bechtel, who has won four races this year and leads the standings, was second and Paige Cain third among 11 drivers.
Pasderetz’s son, a former Langley Super Truck champion, was a Navy petty officer who was killed Dec. 26, 2021, when a small plane crashed in Jacksonville, Florida.
UCAR: Jason Aukland drove to his first victory of the year, while Mikey Chinn was the runner-up. Points leader Thomas Fontaine, who has taken three checkered flags this ӽ紫ý, was third.
